Happy New Year! We just have a few days left, so make the most of them!
A few notes: All items have been graded as of 3:00 pm on Sunday afternoon, so if you have turned something in late, don’t expect me to drop everything and grade. It will get graded. You can’t always get instant gratification when you turn your work in late.
If you are clapping out, you have to be passing by 3:00 this afternoon. If you are planning on GRADUATING, but you don’t clap out in time, you can still graduate as long as you earn your credit.
We still have 250 points to go before we stop working. After today’s assignments, we will be at 1300 points. I am in the process of giving you guys Post It notes with the number of points that you have, how many points you need to earn to pass/exempt/make an “A” in the class. If you didn’t get one today, you’ll get one tomorrow.
There are two extra credit opportunities to earn up to 200 points. This is all extra credit, so even if you don’t get it ALL done, turn in what you have. The extra credit is very easy to be portioned up, so if you don’t have much time to devote, try doing what you can. You might surprise yourself!
Now, on to today’s assignments. We are going to watch the play Pygmalion. The myth of Pygmalion can be found here. If you weren’t here to listen to my recitation of the story, then you need to read it.
We will be watching Pygmalion, a play which is a modern day (at the time) retelling of the Pygmalion myth.
Go to the Pygmalion folder and get the Anticipation Guide Questions. Answer the questions as full as possible. If it gives you any indication of how much time I want you spend on this, I gave that class between 15-20 minutes to answer the questions. Drop these off in the drop box when you are done.
The last assignment we did was the IPA alphabet. You will need to use the chart I gave you and try to translate the words/sentences from IPA to modern English. Think of it like a puzzle. Turn in all three worksheets and the IPA chart stapled together. You’ll need it on the final exam.
Then we talked about the extra credit mobile. The instructions for this can be found in the Final Exam Review folder – for each story, you will do a strand. If you are pressed for time, just get the information written down – I can give you credit for what you do.
